around the day on saturday. where is the storm now? you look at the map. not even on the map just yet. the energy that is going to really form that storm is right here coming in to the pacific northwest today. once it gets on land, our computer models will have a better sense of what's going to happen with this storm. we'll keep you posted here every step of the way. in the meantime we have gusty winds out there now. gusting over 30 miles per hour. winds could gust to 50 miles per hour this afternoon which is why there is a wind advisory up until 7:00 this evening. of course that is making it feel much colder outside. actual temperatures are in the teens. but it surely does not feel like it. when you factor in those gusty winds, look at the wind chill. it is below zero boston to worcester back to orange. feels like zero in lawrence and three down on hyannis this morning. you get the idea. the wind chill had be hovering near or below zero through mid morning. this is 9:00 this morning. look at this. we go into the afternoon. 3:00. it's still feeling like it's in the single digits in most areas to around 10 on the south shore and the cape. this is whaw want to dress for today.

all day long. you can see the sky s are mainly clear now though. west. there will be a flow off the great lakes so lake-effect snows to our west. otherwise a pretty quiet weather pattern the next couple of days. sun will mix with a few clouds. the strong winds will make temperatures getting up into the low to mid 20's feel much much colder. we may never get to 20's today. upper teens forecast through the worcester hills. with those winds holding through the overnight only coming down a bit, those temperatures drop down into the teens tonight. with tomorrow. still cold and dry right through the day on friday. friday. this is very important. we've got an area of high pressure to our north. inning that's been fairly absent with storms as of late. here is that storm coming up out of the carolina coastline here through the mid atlantic states. by saturday notice the wind field wrapping in off the ocean. we have a full moon on saturday so the tides will be astronomically high. there will likely be beach

depending on how close it comes. we will likely get into snow with this coming up during the day on saturday. whether or not there's mixing, that will be dependent upon the track as well. lots to watch with this but the timing saturday into sunday, the heavy snow, the wind threat will be determined by the track. the coastal flooding, beach erosion, are looking likely with this storm system. it should be exiting on sunday. weekend. olessa: we're watching a couple of problems on roads as well. a busy ride on the expressway here by the gas tank. those are northbound headlights starting to build. just getting word of a crash involving an overturned car. 128 southbound at 4 and 225. expect at least one lane to be closed right here in this stretch. i'll keep you posted on that. overturned vehicle 128 southbound at 4 and 225. south of there we're also watching an accident here on route 24 northbound by 139 as you head into randolph. route 3 stop-and-go out of split. once you get there it's a half-hour trip into boston on the expressway. the pike eastbound 15-20, 495

is okay but disappointed with himself for not being more careful. even with the experienced, things can go wrong very quickly. erika: looking back corey says he should have had his avalanche gear with him and should have been more concerned when his friends went ahead into dangerous territory. climbers will learn from his story. emily: your economy headlines this tuesday. modest gains for asian stocks after china's quarterly growth met expectations calming some of the jitters in the region. u.s. stocks are reacting positively to the news with wall street will resume trading today. >> i do quite a bit of driving. it cost me $20 to fill my tank. emily: a price plunge at the pump. the state average is down to $1.87 a gallon. gas hasn't been this cheap since march 2009. heating oil prices also taking a dive. the average home owner saving about a thousand dollars for the year. from travel to shipping costs, there are some amazing savings.

leaves the u.s. less dependent on foreign imports, pushing global supplies even higher. >> the savings over the course of 2015 was about $550 per licensed driver. the savings overall to the tune of $115 billion. emily: great for consumers, but not for energy companies. and this free-fall isn't even over. gasoline prices are expected to drop another 10 to 20 cents. randy: it's now 20 minutes after 6:00. keeping your eyesight sharp is a tough task sometimes. but your eye doctor may have a few secrets. first, take care of your eyes during the winter. they get dry just like your skin; but a humidifier, artificial tears, or just drinking more water can help. second, get the kids outside. studies show too much reading can increase the risk of nearsightedness, but they also show being outside in the sunshine can help prevent it. and finally, give your eyes a break. after 20 minutes of staring at that computer screen, gaze into

or just close them to let natural tears do their work. emily: all right. still ahead, a fun use for this extreme cold. randy: ice put to interesting use in eyepoppers. erika? erika: the oscars responding to outcry over lack of diversity. the academy president's new promise. and an update to a reported attack in chelsea. what police are now saying about a woman who claimed to be

(child laughing). olessa: when people tell me snowfalls from the sky, i have the opposite reaction. this adorable toddler going viral because she thinks the concept of snow is a laughing matter. her dad uploaded this clip to youtube last week

"daddy's funny" as he tries to convince her it's a true story. she just wasn't buying it. randy: wait until she hears cindy's forecast for next week. olessa: exactly. driving is not fun but she's not there yet. one day she'll get it. emily: keep laughing. still ahead, apple is investigating an issue with iphones. the glitch that could leave users high and dry. and a school is going on trial over wi-fi. the health concern leading to a lawsuit, ahead. and we have some trouble out there on the roadways this morning. olessa, of course, keeping an eye on all of them for you. she'll have an update for you
